The scriptures which delineated a very strict set of rules for us to observe (which cannot be found in other nations) especially in connection with a death in the family, also states that when a boy is about to be married, has completed his sankalpam and has tied the holy thread of vow around his wrist even the death of his parents will not make him affected by Theettu, till the ritual is over with ‘Sesha Homam’. – Jagadguru Sri Chandrasekharendra Saraswathi Swamigal
